PSR Executive Director Catherine Thomasson, MD (on left) speaks at a press conference on toxics organized by Sen. Barbara Boxer (r). Dierdre Imus awaits her turn to speak.

PSR President Lynn Ringenberg, MD welcomes members and friends at PSR's Gala for Peace & Health at the Austrian Embassy.

FRESH AIR, clean water, adequate food and a roof over our heads are essential to good health. They are all threat-ened by nuclear weapons, climate change, fracking and toxics. So in 2015, we ramped up our health messaging and fostered strong collaborations to take action.

We rallied 18 co-sponsors for our Climate Health Summit, where we educated health profes-sionals about climate change and how to achieve health benefits using clean energy rather than fos-sil fuels. We became a founding member of the U.S. Climate and Health Alliance to share our materials and policy mes-saging. We supported the Paris Accord, an achiev-able benchmark agreement crafted by 195 countries to restrict greenhouse gas emissions to ensure global temperatures don’t rise more than 2.0°C.

PSR members worked exceptionally hard. With our coalition partners, we protected the Clean Air Act and pushed the Administration to block the Keystone XL pipeline and place a moratorium on coal mine leasing on federal land. We also con-tributed to a stronger EPA Clean Power Plan and an essential rule called Waters of the U.S.; unfortunately, both are tied up in court. The improved EPA stan-dard to protect our health from ground-level ozone was part of our work, although it still does not adequately protect health. Industry struck back, even though the change was minimal, so PSR joined a lawsuit to support the EPA’s improved stan-dard while suing for even stricter control.

In our work to end the madness of nuclear weapons, we gained an ally in the American Medical Association, which passed

a PSR-authored resolution to abolish these weapons. While our Humanitarian Impact campaign moved the Pope to call for an international agreement to rid the world of nuclear weapons, we have not yet influenced the U.S. Administration to work in harmony with non-nuclear countries to close the legal loophole in international law to make nuclear weap-ons illegal. PSR chapters, however, have succeeded in building new champi-ons for disarmament in Oregon, Washington and California.

Our PSR chapters have also achieved advances for climate and health goals in their communities and states. Coal export termi-nals, for example, have not been sited in the Pacific Northwest, thus blocking coal trains. Maryland’s anti-environment governor has been overwhelmed with votes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

And the Florida chapter blocked a pro-fracking bill that would override all lo-cal bans and regulations.

PSR members and staff understand that we cannot have another Hiroshima or worse, mass global starva-tion from a nuclear war. We see the devastation caused by four years of crop failure from climate-induced drought, causing a civil war and millions to be displaced in Syria. We strive to prevent these global threats from be-coming full scale disasters.

With heartfelt thanks to all who supported and worked shoulder to shoul-der with us to make a real difference for our society’s future health!

PSR members conducted a media/advocacy wave to support diplomacy with Iran. •The historic Iran nuclear deal is now in place.

PSR led the Climate Health Summit for 200 health professionals and 18 coalition •partners to train advocates for the Clean Power Plan.

PSR awarded Nukebusters' First Prize to Jonathan Deaton for• Joining the Conversa-tion on Nuclear Weapons. His film is in use by coalition partners all over the world.

PSR co-released the IPPNW Germany’s • Body Count about the Iraqi war dead and wounded. The cost of war is now being evaluated in the U.S.

PSR presented the argument for global nuclear disarmament to the Rotary Peace •Symposium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

PSR members persuaded the AMA to issue a resolution to ban and eliminate all •nuclear weapons based on the humanitarian impact of their use.

PSR pressed President Obama to participate in the Paris Climate Summit. The U.S. •and 176 other countries signed the Paris Accord to limit greenhouse gas emissions.


of dangerous acrimony between Iran and the United States, and greatly reduced the likelihood of a 10th nuclear-armed state. PSR and its allies defeated the Congressional vote of disapproval for the Iran deal and it went into effect on October 18, 2015. PSR promotes diplomacy as the solution to international conflict.

In response to our members in the medical community and the Maryland and Massachusetts Medical Associations, the American Medical Association adopted PSR's resolution calling for full elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide and recommended educating the public on the threat. The AMA’s acceptance supports the Humanitarian Impact Initiative, which states that the effects of nuclear war or the use of nuclear weapons are too catastrophic to allow their use, thus they should be eliminated.

PSR members reached out in great numbers, writing waves of op-eds for the setting of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock, during the NPT Review Conference, and for the 70th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Drs. Ira Helfand and Vic Sidel published a “Perspective” op-ed in the New England Journal of Medicine in October (online) and November (print) issues. Dr. Helfand also represented PSR/IPPNW at Rotary International’s World Conference in Brazil with PSR Board member Dr. Bob Dodge and at the conference for the Rotarian Group for Peace in the U.S.

COALITION PARTNER BIKERS FOR PEACE, which includes PSR chapter staff members, rallies at the U.S. Capitol before riding to NYC for the Nonproliferation Treaty Conference. The organization created a winning Nukebuster film.

PSR members rallied representatives of the Vatican. Before his trip the U.S., His Holiness Pope Francis issued an extensive statement on the need to abolish nuclear weapons. PSR continues the discussion with faith communities in 2016.

PSR successfully conducted Nukebusters, a competition for a short film to attract millennials into the movement to abolish nuclear weapons. The winning films are available to anyone working to rid the world of nuclear weapons at www.psr.org/nukebusters. These films are frequently used by PSR and our coalition partners to great effect. y

2015 will be remembered for a pivotal diplomatic victory: the Iran nuclear deal reversed years

Security Review

PSR BOARD MEMBER ALFRED MEYER, with NY PSR BOARD MEMBER SHANNON GEARHART, MD and PSR SECURITY DIRECTOR MARTIN FLECK in New York City for the Nonproliferation Treaty Conference..


ENGAGEMENT was the 2015 objective for the E&H staff: engage PSR members, engage the public, engage policymak-ers. Together with our chapter leaders, we worked tirelessly to educate our members to help them convince their communi-ties and policymakers that we must slow climate change and reduce toxics in the environment. PSR identified hydraulic frac-turing as a climate driver, publishing materials and providing education about the dangers of pollution to air and water.

With the help of coali-tion partners, we advocated for a stronger EPA Clean Power Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector. Upon the CPP’s release, we mobilized 11 chapters and educated hundreds of

PSR members across the country to initiate plans to replace coal combustion with health-protective, renewable energy and/or energy efficiency.

One decisive win was President Obama’s nixing of the Keystone XL pipe-line. Another: coal exports through the Pacific North-west have been stopped by preventing construction of proposed coal export facilities — though the industry is still trying.

Media coverage to edu-cate the public on climate and health has been grow-ing. The Lancet Commis-sion’s Report on Health and Climate Change was released in June 2015 with PSR support with a spokesperson at the official launch.PSR E&H also:• Co-produced and released the Compendium

of Scientific, Medical, and Media Findings Demon-strating Risks and Harms of Fracking.• Pushed the Administra-tion to release health- and climate-protective regula-tions to reduce methane emissions from new hy-draulically fracked wells. • Convened and hosted the two-day Climate and Health Summit that brought more than 200 health professionals to this landmark conference and follow-up legislator educa-tion day. The Summit attracted 18 cosponsor-ing health organizations, opening the door to ongo-ing collaborations.• Sounded the clarion call for health-based regulation of industrial chemicals by supporting reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA.• Elevated the health voice

in the fight to protect the Clean Water Rule and public health. Brought health professional mem-bers to DC to lobby on behalf of the Rule and were successful in helping to defeat a dangerous bud-get rider in the omnibus budget bill. • Joined a lawsuit to press for stricter limits on ozone pollution.

The coming two years will see us working for strong state policies for clean energy and en-ergy efficiency. We have raised grave concerns over the rush to natural gas. With or without the Clean Power Plan, states must keep up the forward momentum toward a clean energy economy. We must slow climate change and reduce the infiltration of toxics into our lives. y

Environment & Health Overview

PSR ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH DIRECTOR BARB GOTTLIEB with advocates who testified for the CPP on Capitol Hill.,

PSR's CATHERINE THOMASSON, MD at the White House, rallying with the Keep it In the Ground coalition partners.,


20 student chapters (SPSR) worked on diverse topics in 2015, each related to their area’s need. For example, students from SPSR Wayne State University testified at community and city meetings to close coal plants that pollute South Detroit. Fifty students volunteered to grow healthy produce made available gratis to community members. The chapter also hosted a seminar on Great Lakes water quality for 60 students.

SPSR Penn State Hershey distributed voter registration forms and also hosted a luncheon lecture on climate change.

September’s Climate Health Summit in Washington, DC attracted 57 students whose attendance was sponsored by PSR. Students learned the health impacts of climate change and skills to advocate for very specific solutions. Nearly half attended the legislator education day and lobbied their legislators, many for the first time. Twenty SPSR members stayed to attend the student leaders’ meeting as well, where they found mentor figures in the PSR board and staff experts. y

RADIATION & HEALTH

STUDENT PSR UPDATE

PSR staff, board, chapters and members have taken action to address the effects of radiation on health in a variety of ways in 2015.

Federal Education and Lobbying

Called on Congress to scrap the mixed oxides fuel •production plant that was inadequately designed and built. The nuclear fuel created by blending waste plu-tonium has no customers. Outcome looks positive.

Educated on the fallacy of Yucca Mountain as a site •for permanent repository and against interim storage without technical guidelines.

At the EPA and Office of Management and Budget

PSR advocated to remove all incentives for nuclear •power in the Clean Power Plan.

Called on the EPA Scientific Advisory Board Radia-•tion Advisory Committee for radiation standards to be set for vulnerable populations.

PSR lobbied EPA and the Office of Management •and Budget to maintain clean water standards for radiation levels in the intermediate phase after a ra-diological emergency or accident. So far, no relaxation of standards, but we remain concerned.

State-Level Action

PSR opposed a depleted uranium dump near Salt •Lake City, Utah; project was stalled.

PSR has pressed its case in the media to close the •Columbia Generating Station (CGS) in Washington. Petition filed with NRC to shut down CGS given 2013 PSR commissioned study of inadequate ability to withstand a significant earthquake.

PSR garnered support for NYC Council Resolution •694 calling on NRC not to relicense the two Indian Point nuclear reactors. Other media actions taken.

PSR’s fact sheet on Fukushima was updated for the •public. y

PSR BOARD MEMBERS


ENDOWMENT! Our big news is that an anonymous couple who’ve supported PSR for decades started an endow-ment fund for us. The do-nors plan to leave a sizable bequest to PSR and would like to see it permanently invested to continue the fight against the greatest threats to health. They are honoring our request for no investments in fossil fuels or nuclear weapons. Board and staff extend a hearty thank you for their foresightedness.

At PSR’s Gala for Peace & Health in September, we recognized Capstone Members, those who’ve been with PSR for 25 years or more. What a powerful sight to have so many veteran members on stage at once. We also extend our gratitude to those who weren’t able to join us.

And finally, our appre-ciation goes to all our do-nors and Legacy Society members who’ve given so that we may continue our work, not only with fund-ing but by dedicating their time and intellect to our causes. y
